Today's Scripture<br />
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He<br />
leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of<br />
righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,<br />
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a<br />
table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup<br />
runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell<br />
in the house of the LORD for ever.” Psalm 23:1-6<br />
<strong>THE</strong> LORD IS MY SHEPHERD<br />
When you say, "The Lord is my shepherd," you acknowledge your dependence<br />
upon Him, His ownership of you, and your personal relationship with Him.<br />
You prayed this prayer as a kid and even as an adult. It's one of the most<br />
powerful prayer of all time.<br />
But you must have a relationship with the Lord to qualify to call Him your<br />
Shepherd. A sheep is under the care of the shepherd and follows the<br />
shepherd. You must be submitted to the Lord as your shepherd and follow<br />
Him. You should not live any way you want and go wherever you want. You<br />
must follow the Lord and be under His care. Then you have the promise that<br />
you shall not want or lack anything because the Lord will take care of you like a<br />
shepherd.<br />
When the Lord is your shepherd He will nourish you and enable you to<br />
experience peace and rest. When the Lord is your shepherd He restores your<br />
soul. When your soul is discouraged or cast down within you He will revive<br />
you. He will preserve your soul. He will re ne you and purify you and cause<br />
you to walk in the right path. You need not drown in that valley of tears<br />
because the Lord is there to comfort you and heal your broken heart. He will<br />
bring renown and honour to your life especially before the eyes of your<br />
enemies who want to humiliate you.<br />
When the Lord is our Shepherd He will reward you by causing goodness and<br />
mercy to follow you all the days of our life. There is no doubt about it because<br />
His word says surely it will happen. You need not chase a er goodness and<br />
mercy and run desperately a er it. You need only to follow the Lord as your<br />
Shepherd and He will make goodness and mercy to follow you like a shadow<br />
all the days of our life.<br />
All these blessings can be yours when you submit your life into the hands of<br />
the Lord as your Shepherd and follow Him faithfully.<br />
Prayer<br />
For The Day<br />
Father God, thank you for<br />
another day to praise<br />
you. Thank You for being<br />
my good Shepherd. Today<br />
I humbly come to You,<br />
giving thanks for loving<br />
me; the sheep of your<br />
pasture. I am grateful I<br />
can trust You to be<br />
present in all<br />
circumstances of my life.<br />
Thank You for leading me<br />
into the place of rest.<br />
Restore my soul. Renew<br />
my joy. Heal my heart as I<br />
surrender every area of<br />
my life to You. In the<br />
mighty name of Jesus!<br />
Amen.<br />
